More about Todd and Amy Schulze

With over ten years experience in fitness and wellness, Todd Schulze has worked with some of Columbus’ most elite professionals. Todd possesses extensive knowledge in almost every area of fitness including: corporate wellness, large gym operations, and personal training studios. As the current fitness director of The Country Club of Muirfield Village, principal in PFM fitness management, and founder of Columbus Fitclique LLC it is Todd’s goal to change the perception of the fitness industry as it is today.

“The constant growth of the fitness industry has matched the steady increase of obesity. It doesn’t make much sense.” Todd states. “To date, the norm is that you pay for a service and it’s up to you to use it, but results will never be achieved without the necessary motivation. It’s time for fitness to stop selling people and truly help them. It is my mission to create programs, facilities, and concepts that do just that.”

Amy Schulze’s professional background started off in retail management at a young age, managing a Banana Republic store while finishing her degree in education. Amy’s career in fitness started as a passion for working out. Spending time in the gym made her realize that she wanted a career in the fitness industry. After spending some time as a middle school teacher, and as a group fitness instructor, Amy’s fiancée opened his first training studio in Dublin, Ohio. Amy became Todd’s business partner and began overseeing all operations of the business. Seven years later, Amy still has that same passion for working out, and the fitness industry.
